The NBA just announced the starters for the All Star Game. Looks like Kobe's in, and, uh, LeBron's playing center?

Here are the lineups:

East:

G Kyrie Irving

G Dwyane Wade

F Paul George

F LeBron James

F Carmelo Anthony

West:

G Kobe Bryant

G Stephen Curry

F Kevin Durant

F Blake Griffin

F Kevin Love

There aren't a ton of surprises here, since it was pretty obvious all along that Kobe was getting in, but even with the injury, Chris Paul not being on here is a little weird. And that East lineup is, uh, interesting. Melo can probably check Love, and LeBron, Blake, but still.

More notable is who's missing, obviously. A healthy Derrick Rose probably squeezes in there, and a full season of Russell Westbrook probably slides him past the absentee Kobe. At least there's Steph, who's somehow playing in his first ASG.
